Stress is the Foundation of Dis-Ease

/

Just as a river flows effortlessly when unobstructed, chiropractic care aims to remove the barriers that impede the natural flow of information within the nervous system.

This is similar to how stress affects our bodies on a day-to-day basis.

If we are constantly stressed, our body is in that "fight or flight mode." This makes it hard for all systems in our body to function at their highest.

Chiropractic works to remove any interference within your nervous system caused by stress so all systems can communicate correctly + function optimally!

Embracing Ease WithIN the Nervous System

/

When there is "ease" between the brain and body, it is a vital sign that the body is at optimal functioning and overall well-being.

When there is "ease" withIN, the communication pathways between the brain and the body are clear and uninterrupted, allowing for efficient transmission of signals and information.

This ease promotes harmony, balance, and optimal performance of the body's various systems.

On the other hand, "dis-ease" occurs when there are disruptions or blockages in the nervous system, hindering the flow of information between the brain and the body. These disruptions can manifest as pain, discomfort, decreased mobility, immune challenges, digestive troubles, or other health issues. Dis-ease disrupts the body's natural balance, impacting physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Chiropractic care is crucial in improving "ease" within the nervous system. Chiropractors focus on identifying and correcting misalignments or subluxations in the spine, which can cause nerve interference and disrupt brain-body communication. Our team at Elevated Life Family Chiropractic is dedicated to helping restore proper alignment, facilitating the free flow of nerve signals, and promoting a state of ease within the nervous system.

Why We Don't Accept Insurance

/

Have you wondered why so many chiropractic offices don’t take insurance?

At Elevated Life Family Chiropractic, Dr. Randy wants to focus his time and energy on the care that your nervous system needs. Not what an insurance company who has never met you thinks you need or don’t need. Instead of spending lots of time on the phone with insurance companies (for our office and our patients) we focus our energy providing affordable care for our Southeastern Idaho Community.

Adaptation VS Balance

/

While adaptation refers to the nervous system’s ability to respond and adjust to stressors, and balance refers to maintaining equilibrium between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.

A well-functioning autonomic nervous system strikes a balance between these divisions, allowing for effective adaptation to stress and maintaining optimal health and wellness!

Easing Transitions From School to Summer!

/

Transitioning from school to summer can be challenging for many kids, as it can bring about significant changes in their routines and social interactions.

Here are F O U R ways to ease this transition and support kids' emotional well-being:

1. Gradual Schedule Adjustments: Start adjusting the child's sleep and wake times 1-2 weeks before school ends. This will help ease the transition and ensure they are well-rested and energized for summer activities.

2. Encourage Physical Activity: Regular exercise is essential for physical and mental health. It can also be helpful during the transition from school to summer.

3. Maintain social connections: organizing playdates with friends, joining summer camps or clubs, or participating in community events can help the child stay connected to their social network and build new friendships, which can help improve their emotional well-being.

4. Chiropractic care: allows for an adaptive nervous system, allowing the brain to integrate environmental changes. Continuing or starting chiropractic care can provide neurological, emotional, and physical well-being.

What Your Pain is Telling You

/

Are you tired of living your entire life in pain or discomfort?

Pain is one of the most important signals that tell our body, "Something is not functioning optimally within the nervous system." It helps us understand what is happening between the brain and the body.

Every sensation of pain or discomfort we experience, whether from an illness, injury, or environmental stimuli, is relayed by the brain and the entire nervous system to the physical body.

Any dysfunctions or stressors within these neural pathways result in a symptom such as physical pain.

Chiropractic adjustments allow the brain to communicate FREELY to the entire nervous system allowing for a reduction in inflammation, decreased discomfort, and improved vitality overall!

5 Ways Stress Presents Itself in the Body

/

Stress can manifest itself in many different ways in the body, affecting both our physical and emotional health.

When we encounter a stressful situation, our body's natural response is to activate the "fight or flight" response. This response is designed to help us respond quickly to perceived threats by increasing our heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate.

However, chronic stress can lead to the continuous activation of the fight or flight response, causing stress to present itself in the body.

When our body is in a state of relaxation, our body activates the "rest and digest" response. This response allows our body to focus on restorative processes such as digestion, repair, and growth.

However, chronic stress can inhibit the rest and digestion response, leading to digestive issues, decreased immune function, and other negative health effects.

If you are experiencing symptoms of stress, such as physical tension, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, depression, reoccurring illnesses, disrupted sleep, or feel depleted throughout the day, it is important to take steps to manage your stress levels now! Chiropractic care can improve your central nervous system function which can improve overall adaptability to stress, achieving optimal well-being.
